We’ve got your whole race weekend covered with a full itinerary of events just for MTS runners. From Saturday’s team shakeout run and welcome reception to Sunday’s VIP lounge, live scoring, and post-race brunch, it’s a weekend built for connection, celebration, and competition.

Each team is made up of 7 runners, with the top 5 adjusted finish times counting toward the team score. Every runner still plays a vital role, whether scoring or supporting.

Scoring is based on a time average that includes age and gender-based time bonuses. This levels the field so all runners can contribute meaningfully, regardless of age or gender.
